Indiana makes the news
I'm always scanning the news media for references to my home state, and here's a big 'un. It appears that tiny Reynolds, Indiana is trying to become independent of the US power grid.
I've been through Reynolds a billion times, (because it's a gas stop on the highway between where I used to go to school and where my parents used to live), and may I say I admire the restraint of the NYT reporter for this article. She mentions, and then completely glosses over the fact that people in Reynolds are doing this, not because of any sense of social responsibility, but because they hate and fear Arabs. Well done, m'am!
In other news, here's a picture of my bargain-basement sleeper couch, of which I am more than a little proud. Mostly, I am proud because, technically, it is NOT a futon. That is because I am a GROWNUP and grownups do not have FUTONS in their living rooms.
As you can see, I have very little else in my living room. That is because I am extremely picky, and also because I get paid monthly.

Speaking of the IN news, there ain't much of it! There was a "mass murder" in Indianapolis a few days ago, and they spent 15 minutes on the morning news speculating and reporting gossip. Sigh...
By the way, we just got our wireless router hooked up and this is the first thing I'm doing with it! [We went with Belkin because Linksys sucks.)
